the semi-finals of the 6th liyi huaxia hanfu model competition south china division is hosted by the museum of the nanyue king (research center for the history of the nanyue kingdom in the western han dynasty). the event aims to "let chinese aesthetics lead the catwalk fashion and let hanfu culture return to the public eye." by selecting hanfu models, it presents the national style aesthetics of the new era and showcases the unique charm of china's excellent traditional culture.
as a public education and cultural dissemination institution, the nanyue king museum has been committed to promoting excellent traditional culture. the venue of this event, the royal palace exhibition area, is centered on the nanyue palace site located in the center of the old city of guangzhou. it is the site of the royal palaces of the nanyue kingdom in the western han dynasty and the southern han kingdom in the five dynasties, as well as the location of the county, prefecture, and government offices since the qin dynasty unified lingnan. it is a historical witness of guangzhou as the political, economic, and cultural center of lingnan. it is known as the "essence of guangzhou's historical and cultural city" and is an excellent venue for large-scale traditional historical and cultural theme activities.

different from the common hanfu parades or performances, this event relies on the cultural heritage of the nanyue palace site, integrating chinese costumes with the museum's historical culture and cultural relics, complementing each other. at the competition site, contestants and audiences were immersed in it, stopping, taking photos, or communicating, traveling through a thousand years of time and space in an instant, allowing this royal palace that had been dormant for a thousand years to reappear its former grandeur and prosperity, radiating infinite brilliance and vitality.
the grandeur of the warring states period, the simplicity of the qin and han dynasties, the prosperity of the tang dynasty, the elegance of the song dynasty, and the dignity of the ming dynasty, the contestants' vivid performances made the clothing styles of each dynasty come to life, leading the audience through the long river of time and space, and feeling the cultural heritage and aesthetic pursuit that have been accumulated for thousands of years.

in the future, the museum of the nanyue king will continue to launch various forms of high-quality cultural and educational activities, so that more and more young people will love traditions, approach classics, respect culture, continue cultural context, and better promote the creative transformation and innovative development of china's excellent traditional culture.
